People may dismiss the Xtina look alike, Lady Gaga, for her overall Solid Gold dancer-on-acid persona, but the chic has found her niche. I have to admit I thought "Just Dance" was a nice record, but her debut album'strack list boasts songs that make "Dance" look like a mere jig.Beautiful Dirty Rich - Posh and raunchy @ the same time; as if she re-created Fiona Apple's "Criminal" at a haunted house.Poker Face - Gaga's recent single; seems more radio friendly, such as "Just Dance"Love Game - Reminescent of MJ's "Bad", choreography is sick.

Adorable animals + adorable kids = box office success in the 90s. From Monkey Business, to Dunston Checks In, and even the forgotten Andre, animals and kids were just as popular as kids and sports. No other film had such an impact that it garnered a song by Bubbles the chimp's owner - Free Willy.

Although it produced two sequels, the original etched a place in viewer's hearts and a spot in pop culture.

There is no way in 1996 you could escape these four brothers and their sophomore album, Another Level. Blackstreet dominated R&B with such classics as the Bill Withers-sampled "No Diggity" and the ballad "Don't Leave Me." But it's another ballad, "I Can't Get You (Out of My Mind)", that stands out to me. Apparently the remix appeared on the soundtrack of the worst movie ever, but i digress.
